Today at a special luncheon presentation during its 2016 Global Forum on Girls' Education, the National Coalition of Girls' Schools unveiled a brand new award named for HB's own visionary Head of School Bill Christ. Beginning next year, the H. William Christ Educator Prize will annually be awarded to a man or woman who has demonstrated commitment to extraordinary teaching, program design, and curricular innovation in an NCGS member school.
"The Christ Educator will be an individual whose teaching efforts have been noted as innovative by his or her peers and institution," said NCGS Executive Director Megan Murphy. "The recipient will reflect the creative excellence, cutting-edge programming, entrepreneurial teaching, and collaborative design in his or her teaching that have characterized Bill Christ's own leadership style as the quintessential 'educator's educator.'"
Bill's generative three-decade tenure at Hathaway Brown School has inspired this national organization to recognize his contributions to the field of girls' education in this way. Please join us in congratulating him on such a prestigious honor.
Hathaway Brown School hopes that the H. William Christ Educator Prize will galvanize even more creative advancements by teachers in girls' schools all around the country. For more information, visit ncgs.org.
